I often get asked how I am able to find speaking opportunities, secure speaking opportunities and create speaking opportunities. The answer may vary slightly from person to person but the core will always be action. Your action determines the yes that you are searching for.

The Ask: When in need of you ask where there may be speaking opportunities most times you will get a answer

The Search: Places like gig salad, Eventbrite and yes even google will give you ideas on what events are happening that may need speakers like you.

The Community: There are Speakers Networks just for this purpose. Connecting with a community of speakers is not a competition, it is support.

The Creation: Hey, I know you have heard many say it over and over again. If they won’t give you a seat at the table go create your own table.


I’ve done all three in my journey as a speaker and as we prepare for 2020, I’ll share what worked for me. You’ll also find out the best way to network for opportunities.
